WINNING THE IVES STAKES IN FAST TIME.

WINNING THE IVES STAKES IN FAST TIME.
MILE AND QUARTER IN 2:07l4 WITH lit
POUNDS UP.
No race since the Brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap has
caused such outburst Of excitement the double duel
in the Ives Stakes at Sheepshead Bay yesterday II was
a. brilliant 1t was unexpected OF the four horses in
the race, Elkwood, Richmond, wickham and Dry
Monopole-of course old War Eagle never in 1t; he
might as well have been left In the sable-the knowing
public saw none but Elkwood, simply because Garrison
was up It is the fashion to follow Garrison. He
IL the peoples jockey Nobody wanted any OF Dry
Monopole and the despised little bay colt went begging
about the ring at and to With III pounds he had
no chance He had never done anything with ia.
Chumps who persuaded themselves that he might
squeeze into the place got and to about him. They
could get all the Richmond they wanted at to and the
price against wickham was just as long Against Elk
wood the ripe plum to was the best that could DO
had Whence all this astounding beray on the part OF
the bookmakersi Had they grown so fat upon the
peoples money become conscience STRICKEN -FOUR
animals nearly equal merit in race, and ODDS OF 10
against the winner of the Brooklyn Handicap and the
maker Of a record!
WEN. the race was run For mile four horses were
In it, In the last quarter there were only two-Dry
Mopopole and Elkwood And there were two Jockeys
Mclaughlin and Garrison Jockey against jockey; horse
against horse Spectators awose to the struggle ana
men aud women rose their chairs to see fought out
Furously the battle ragged No man could tell which
side would gain the victory Now Elkwood Leo nose'
now Dry MonopOle. Garrison climbed upward and Tor
ward; Mclaughlin sat down and drew his knees TO-
gether Then like team locked head to head the horses
swept on, stride for stride. At fifty YARDS EKwood
looked winner At twenty Dry Monopole stretched his
neck getting his head in 'front.' and there he held II as
the combaants flashed by the judges The grand stand
shook with applause such Sheepshead had not heard
before this year. The cheering was renewed when the
time went up 207 Ia. 1t was great race and men
cheered their oudest who perhaps had never raised
their voices before race course With LOG POUNDS
up Dry Monopole won the Brooklyn Handicap in 2;o7
Yesterday he carried lit pounds the same distance In
quarter second slower time The race Is so extraor
binary that it almost makes Elkwood respectable
horse.
The other are scarcely worth mentioning III was
decidedly off day" for the Coney Island Jockey Club
But for the Stakes the afternoon would have been
almost uncomfortable.
